What about all the Catholics who died in Northern Ireland during the potato famine ,

What about it?

Would Catholics have done any differently in those days had the shoe been on the other foot?

Precedent set by RCC history does not suggest so.

To attribute murderous motives to the innocent in Ireland is not christian but then their English protestant owners never demonstrated much Christianity towards Catholicism so how were they to learn.

"Precedent set by RCC" is irrelevant since the atrocity occurred in Ireland and the RCC was never in power in Ireland from 1690 to the famine . Thus you have no historical basis to allege this hypothetical allegation about the RCC in Ireland. The allegation is both flawed and mindless.

You would be well advised to ponder Mt 5 44:48 and Romans 12: 14. God Bless.

bluntly — both sides did wrong things, both had blood on their hands. What we object to is saying “oh we Calvs are sooo innocent we did nothing”. And that is not true. You didn’t do this, mind, but Doc Eck did —> your point in this post is “ok, both sides did wrong” and I agree with that.
